 | 101k | A postcard drawing of the Wisconsin (BB-9) dated 4 April 1910. The pre-dreadnought battleship then visited Tompkinsville, N.Y., and New Orleans, La., before she discharged ammunition at New York City on 22 April. Later that spring, 1910, she moved to the Portsmouth (N.H.) Navy Yard, where she was placed in reserve. The drawing on the postcard seems to indicate that she is down South. | Photo courtesy of Robert M. Cieri. Partial text courtesy of DANFS. | |

 | 137k | Philadelphia Navy Yard, Pennsylvania. Older warships in the Reserve Basin, photo is probably post WW I (1918 to 1920). From right to left: First ship: Kearsarge class (BB-5 / 6), probably Kearsarge (BB-5). The photo shows a platform above the Navigation Bridge which is straight across the front. Photos of the Kentucky (BB-6) at this time show a similar platform but one which extends out over the conning tower roof at the center. I've not seen a photo of the Kearsarge at this time so I'm not positive. Second ship: Wisconsin (BB-9). Sister ship Illinois (BB-7) had a bridge structure atop the conning tower while sister Alabama (BB-8) had a second platform on the mast between the bridge and the lowest searchlight. Third Ship: Indiana (BB-01). This ship is "hull down" behind the Wisconsin with only her upper works visible, the 2 short funnels and the old "military" mast to the left of the Wisconsin's forward cage mast. The mast is sitting atop a round faced bridge structure. Sister Oregon (BB-03) is on the West coast and sister Massachusetts’ bridge has a square face. Fourth Ship: Iowa (BB-4). This ship is also “hull down” and is actually beyond the fifth ship in the photo. Visible are cage main mast (second from the left in the photo), the 2 tall funnels and the military mast partially hidden the shorter funnel of the nearer ship. The funnels identify the ship. Fifth Ship: Massachusetts (BB-2). The aft main and secondary batteries and the cage mast are clearly visible as are the shorter funnels and the military mast (in front of Iowa’s forward funnel). This is a case of everyone else is eliminated. Oregon (BB-03) is on the west coast and the Indiana is across the slip, ergo… The last ship appears to have 4 short funnels and no cage mast which means it is probably a cruiser but I have not identified it. | Digital ID: # ggbain 09957, LC-B2-2333-3.
